Crop Report. The September crop re-
port just promulgated by the Department o.
Agriculture has this to say about the tobacco
crop Of this county: "The acreage was great
ly redoced in consequence of the very low
price, but we have had an unusually fine sea
son for the growth Of tobacco, as well as ccrn
aud grass. From the best information and
observation we think the crop will average
three-fourths of a good one, as large as was
ever made. 1t is now being secured and is Of
very nice quality.

soldierlY appearance, when marching a ong
the magnificent streets of the city, that first

power to accompany it on this, the greatest
trip that it has had the opportunity to take.

in which the tiger is kept, he stumbled
on to Professor Keeplooker, the presi-
